Taking a Leap for Fix-it Friday!

As you can tell from my previous post, my little Pea has been participating in a form of exercise that is gaining some respectibilty. Pole Fitness is the exercise and fitness without the striping or sex. Let me introduce you to some new citizens in the Tangled Kingdom.

First, we have Pole Mama, (Princess and Pole Mama have been friends since High School.)

And her little one, Pole Baby aka the Pea's best friend.

Pole Mama teaches Pole Fitness and she was so sweet and is willing to give you a FREE pole fitness lesson! Welcome to the Pole Fitness Studio. First, you need to wear a sleeveless shirt and short shorts. Your skin helps you grip the pole. No lotions, or you will slip.

This is the official pole:

Should you wish to order your own, you can even get a portable one for your home.

The cutest little pole daughters you could ever hope to meet!

You have to learn the different grips.The baseball grip:

The Power Grip:

The Goofy Grip:

The name of the grip Jo forgot:

The first move is called the Fireman:The embed won't work, so here is a link instead:

So, I hope you are as awed as I am at the incredible athlete Pole Mama is! And should you wish to be more fit, Pole fitness is a fun way to go. Thank you Pole Mama, for inviting us to your studio on Leap Friday. If anyone lives in Utah and wants more info, please feel free to email me and I will get you the real address!I love learning new things and this certainly is NEW to me! See ya next Friday!

There are many more hours in a day than just night time though, and it comes in handy for other things.

A coat rack.

A dryer for damp things:

A hanger for clothes:

You can hang other things from it:like cats

And dogs:

And grand daughters!

It makes a great impromptu birdstand:

You can disguise it:

And decorate it:

Leave it to the Pea to be REALLY creative about what you can do with an IV pole.Remember that post I did about the new form of exercise Princess has been doing? Princess's best friend has a fitness studio teaching that form of exercise and I guess Pea has been spending a bit too much time there with her mama!

Behold! My pole fitness/dancing grand daughter!

She has got some moves!

And don't forget to smile for your audience when you are done!

What every Mormon grandmother wants to see her granddaughter doing. Pole fitness, smitness. Still, I doubt anyone could possibly be cuter doing it!
